Scottish Music groups

This page contains scottish music groups,
together with links to their home pages if I know of them. For
some groups I only have their homepage link. I have marked these with "(link only)".
If I have missed
your favourite group out, I'd love to know so I can add them to
this page.

Since anyone anywhere in the world can read this page, I have not included
contact addresses or telephone numbers unless I have specifically been given permission. Please
contact me
if you want contact information.

The groups are arranged by country and then in alphabetical order of location, and are:

We are a Scottish traditional music orchestra inclusive of fiddles,
cellos, and doubles basses, and are based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Our weekly practice sessions, take place from October - March on
Monday evenings 7.30pm - 9.30pm. We perform twice a year, i.e. in
November for our St. Andrew's night, to raise money for local
causes, and our Annual Concert in March.

New members with the ability to read music for orchestral purposes,
and play at a satisfactory standard are always welcome, whatever
their age.

We are a small but dedicated crowd, who meet in Edinburgh Scotland on
the first and third Sunday evenings of every month, to play Celtic
music, with a very heavy emphasis on the music of the Shetland Islands.
Visitors are very welcome to join in, to add their own contribution or
simply to listen.

We have a web site at
http://www.edinburgh-shetland-fiddlers.org/.
At the moment the URL leads to a "place-keeper" (the
"history-photos-info" place-keeper). Follow it and you may agree that
it is the most interesting and informative place-keeper you have seen
yet. At the moment we are compiling material for a bigger, better
showing. This will appear sometime near Midsummer 2001. In the
meantime, the "place-keeper" will provide enough information to allow
any visitors to Scotland to find the society and join in our evenings.

We are a 30 strong charitable society, promoting scots music to youngsters while raising money
for good local causes, we also play occasional charitable scottish country dances around the
North East of Scotland

We are based in Ellon Aberdeenshire, and meet every Monday evening for practice. We have a
website at www.ythanfiddlers.org. We also organise an annual
fiddlers rally usually in June.

view, however, you must give me permission to attribute it to you.
